Steel

Steel is a critical material widely used in nearly every industry including construction, automobiles, machinery, appliances, energy, shipbuilding, precision instruments, and more. Steel is produced in most countries globally and is a heavily traded commodity. Historically, steel-making has been the subject of significant trade frictions over the past several decades. To capture and report on steel trends both in the United States and globally, the International Trade Administration provides several programs and information products.

Global Steel
Monitor

The Global Steel Trade Monitor provides comprehensive statistics on the global export and import of steel mill products. In addition, ITA's quarterly reports offer detailed data on trade trends for the top steel importing and exporting countries, along with production, consumption, and steel trade remedy information.

U.S. Steel Import
Monitoring & Analysis

The Steel Import Monitoring and Analysis (SIMA) program collects and publishes timely data about U.S. imports of steel mill products for 53 defined steel categories, with aggregate import data available by country of origin, value, volume, and average unit value. Data tables and graphs in ITA's online Steel Import Monitor are updated on a weekly basis. SIMA also publishes data series for U.S. exports of steel mill products, imports and exports of select downstream steel products, and trade in the NAFTA region.

Steel Licensing
Application

All steel mill imports into the United States require an import license for entry. The steel import license is an automatic license used for data collection purposes only. Importers and Customs brokers use this website to obtain their steel licenses prior to completing their Customs entry documentation.
